Lazio Roma bounced back in the fight for European places with a win last Saturday after two winless games in a row.

The team of coach Maurizio Sarri mastered this compulsory task with a commanding 3:0, which means that three victories are on the balance sheet of the last five games. The Laziali are seven points behind Atalanta in 8th place in the table.
Goals, goals, goals
Even though Lazio Roma are in an auspicious position in the table by their standards, it cannot be said that the Laziali are playing bad football. The 2-1 defeat to Inter Milan was Rome’s only game in the last five in which Lazio did not score three times. Against Genoa, Venice, Empoli and Salernitana, Lazio Roma scored three times. That makes 13 goals in the last five games alone. No other Italian team can boast this statistic in recent weeks. With 46 goals already this season, Lazio are the third most successful goal machine in Serie A.

Predicted line-up – last update on 21 January 2022
Lazio Roma operate in an attacking 4-3-3 wing system. The four-man defence provides stability, while the three-man midfield led by Savic distributes the balls to the outer lanes. With Immobile, the Laziali have an ice-cold goal scorer in the centre of attack.
Atalanta Bergamo is also very offensive. The Bergamaski, however, tries it with a different basic formation. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini sends his team onto the field in a 3-4-2-1 formation, where the wingers are the crucial players in the system. They have to act both offensively and defensively. When the opposition has possession, they form the full-backs, which is why Atalanta play a 5-3-2 system against the ball.
